A SEARCH FOR THE TOP TEN

Bible Gateway, an online Bible, looked at the viewing trends of some of their 8 million monthly visitors. They found that John 3:16 is one of the most searched for verses.

I don’t think it’s surprising that it’s high up on the list. It tells us that God loved us so much that He sent His Son to rescue us from our sin and give us everlasting life. Number ten on the list is Jesus’ mission for His followers to spread that good news: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations” (MATTHEW 28:19). Also in the top ten are Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28
about God’s good plans and purposes for His people.

The Bible is filled with truths to search out and share. In Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, the psalmist shared his thoughts about God’s words and his desire to search it and be taught by God. He said, “Oh, how I love Your law!” (V.97). Our Bible reading for today shows some of the psalmist’s reasons for loving it: it gives him wisdom and understanding, it keeps him from being selfish and it is so satisfying. It’s his meditation “all day long”.

Let’s keep taking the time to read the Bible. The more we search what God says, the more we’ll grow in our love for it and its Author (V.97).

THE MORE YOU READ THE BIBLE, THE MORE YOU’LL LOVE ITS AUTHOR.
